SSDD, (Same Stuff Different Day), Denise is still uncomfortably pregnant, the mole in my yard is going for the gold in tunnel excavations and Brittany peed on the carpet again this morning. As I said SSDD.
My sister, Pat, called yesterday; she suggested a subject for a story. She told me one of their employees is peeing in bottles then leaving the bottles in the company trucks. Why on earth would someone do that? My brother Ed said he thinks he’s heard of certain religious groups that drink urine as part of a ritual. My nephew Ryan thinks the construction worker doesn’t want to pee on a customer’s fence and is to shy to ask to use the restroom. Pat remembers a friend of a friend that always washed her face with the first expelled urine of the day, (this woman had a beautiful complexion). I’m not sure weather it was a Law and Order or CSI episode that showed women drinking their own urine to loose weight or something else wonderfully cosmetic. None of these ideas appeals to my internal storyteller so I guess I’ll have to wing it.
Hiatus From Hygiene
Everybody liked Manny. He was thoughtful, polite and always wore a smile on his round dark face. When Manny left for work in the morning he high-fived the teens waiting for the school bus, gave treats to the little kids and handed the homeless guy on the corner a warm burrito.
Manny had one idiosyncrasy however. He liked to pee in empty bottles. He didn’t care what kind of bottle. Glass or plastic; soda, water or juice it didn’t matter all were acceptable receptacles. For most people; taking a leak, having a piddle, making water, going wee-wee or doing number one is a call of nature answered by using a toilet or finding a suitable place behind a tree but not so for Manny. For as long as he could remember he always preferred to aim his steaming stream into a bottle.
If he weren’t such a likable guy I’m sure he would have been shunned for such odd urinary practices. But to know Manny was to love Manny so his family and friends tolerated this peculiar trait. Of course when people first met Manny and started finding bottles full of pee they were understandably put off; but all in all his infectious smile, kindness and generosity caused most people to overlook this hiatus from hygiene.
